Instead it turned into an out, although hotly disputed, and a possible big inning petered out. The West End Pub struck for their only runs of the contest in their half of the second. Four successive hits in­ cluding a two run triple by Tom Wallen and an RBI double by Don Prazak put the Kiss It crew up by three.
